"Roger, I think that was the most successful Summer Reading Program ever! The parents and children were so enthusiastic...you certainly are a crowd pleaser."

"Each year when we discuss how to spend funds teachers say, 'Just give us Roger!' He has truly become a beloved musician in our community and we never tire of his performances."
— Karen Green, CPC Coordinator, South Deerfield, MA
"Roger has played the Iron Horse regularly since its doors opened in 1979. His shows are marked by an engaging informality and have a very broad-based appeal. As much as he lightens the evening with yodels and sing-alongs, he also brings it back home with craftsmanly interpretations of the finest songs in the contemporary folk repertoire. Roger's warmth and good humor make for uncanny audience rapport."
— Jordi Herold, Iron Horse Cafe, Northampton, MA
